To prepare for canning, I heat 5 pint/500 ml mason jars in boiling water and left them in the hot water until ready to be filled. The sealing discs and ring bands were also warmed in a small pot of boiling water and left in the hot water until ready to use.

DIY Lego Table

I saw this awesome table on Pinterest the other day.  But just the picture :(  However, I realize you can get these tables dirt cheap at garage sales or your local thrift store. 

 

This is awesome for your kiddos, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or in your classroom.  This would make an awesome gift for those you love.

Birthday Ballon Wreath

The other day I stumbled upon this picture on Pinterest with no link. Sad but true.  However I did find the blog which containes the actual tutorial on how to make a balloon wreath.  I think the amount of balloons needed depends on what size wreath you use. Also, you can add a bow, pipe cleaners, birthday hat etc.
